Party Chex Mix

This Party Chex Mix is about to be your new favorite snack. It’s made with pretzels, chex, cheerios and nuts all flavored with worchestire, coconut aminos and spices!

I first discovered my love for homemade chex mix when my boyfriend and I were in Denver for Christmas/New Year’s Eve a couple years ago. We were staying in a cozy cabin with a bunch of friends just lounging, drinking hot chocolate (and wine of course) and munching on yummy snacks. Someone brought a huge bag of homemade chex mix and I was instantly hooked. Now, whenever I make this recipe, it makes me feel like I’m back in the cabin cozied up with a blanket watching holiday movies!

How is chex mix made?

Chex mix is made by mixing dry snack ingredients like cereal and pretzels with oil and spices. Then, you mix it and bake it slow on a low temperature. This recipe takes about an hour at 250 degrees.

What should I put in chex mix?

For the dry ingredients, you can put:

Pretzels

Chex cereal

Cheerios cereal

Goldfish

Nuts

Sesame sticks

Bagel chips

Cheez Its

Chocolate chips (I prefer savory chex mix but if you can add chocolate if you want a little sweetness)

For the flavoring (if you want sweet), you can put:

How should I store homemade chex mix?

Chex mix will keep best in an airtight container. I like to use large mason jars or really tight glass tupperwares.

The chex mix is the perfect party favor or holiday gift! You can put some in mason jars with a bow and give it to friends and family during the holidays. It’s also one of my favorite gameday snacks. I’m not huge into football but if you put my Gators on and give me some of this party chex mix, I am a happy camper.

On a side note, it’s OKAY to enjoy delicious snacks like these around the holidays (and all year long). Your relationship with food is actually much more important in terms of health than the food itself. By giving yourself the freedom to enjoy whatever food you want, you create space to listen to your body, and re-discover pleasure in food. Once you start trusting your body and honoring it’s needs, I think you’ll find you actually feel much better than when you are dieting or following rigid food rules.
